Genome wide association study and genomic prediction for fatty acid composition in Chinese Simmental beef cattle using high density SNP array

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Fatty acid composition of muscle is an important trait contributing to meat quality. Recently, genome-wide association study (GWAS) has been extensively used to explore the molecular mechanism underlying important traits in cattle.

Evaluation of Passive Immunity Induced by Immunisation Using Two Inactivated gE-deleted Marker Vaccines against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) in Calves

Vaccines, 2020
Different types of vaccines against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) are commercially available. Among these, inactivated glycoprotein E (gE)-deleted marker vaccines are commonly used, but their ability to induce passive immunity is poorly known ...

Redox‐dependent binding and conformational equilibria govern the fluorescence decay of NAD(P)H in living cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this work, we reveal how different enzyme binding configurations influence the fluorescence decay of NAD(P)H in live cells using time‐resolved anisotropy imaging and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). Mathematical modelling shows that the redox states of the NAD and NADP pools govern these configurations, shaping their fluorescence ...

PacBio Single-Molecule Long-Read Sequencing Provides New Light on the Complexity of Full-Length Transcripts in Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Cattle (Bos taurus) is one of the most widely distributed livestock species in the world, and provides us with high-quality milk and meat which have a huge impact on the quality of human life.

Single cis‐elements in brassinosteroid‐induced upregulated genes are insufficient to recruit both redox states of the BIL1/BZR1 DNA‐binding domain

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phytohormone brassinosteroid‐induced gene regulation by the transcription factor BIL1/BZR1 involves redox‐dependent DNA‐binding alternation and interaction with the transcription factor PIF4. The reduced BIL1/BZR1 dimer binds preferred cis‐elements, while oxidation alters its oligomerization state and disrupts DNA‐binding ability.

Detection of Genetic Variants Associated with Behavioural Response During Milking in Simmental Dual-Purpose Cows

Animals
Cattle breeding has traditionally focused on improving production traits; however, recent interest in positive animal welfare has shifted attention toward selecting for more robust animals that balance productivity with health and well-being.

Genomic Prediction Using LD-Based Haplotypes Inferred From High-Density Chip and Imputed Sequence Variants in Chinese Simmental Beef Cattle

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
A haplotype is defined as a combination of alleles at adjacent loci belonging to the same chromosome that can be transmitted as a unit. In this study, we used both the Illumina BovineHD chip (HD chip) and imputed whole-genome sequence (WGS) data to ...
